These wars and heroes may be found under their
respective titles, in the Bibliotheque Orientale of
D'Herbelot. They have been celebrated in an epic poem of
sixty thousand rhymed couplets, by Ferdusi, the Homer of
Persia. See the history of Nadir Shah, p. 145, 165. The
public must lament that Mr. Jones has suspended the pursuit
of Oriental learning.
